Hi hajrah

You should establish your self some goals that you can take action on instead of just trying to "loose weight" without a specific aim.

Answer for yourself:

Why do i want to lose weight in the first place?

How much do i want to loose?

How would my ideal life and body look like in 6 months?

...1 year?

Build the picture in your mind of where you want be in the future. If you can see it in your mind often enough... you will eventually believe it can happen.

I understand, I have times when motivation disappears completely & I go straight for the food.

I have a few different ways for motivation, some work for some people whereas some won't work -

-List of reasons for wanting to lose weight e.g. Size 10 clothes, a summer holiday, be confident around a buffet, etc

- A page of goal pictures of when you were at a happy weight

-Instagram/pinterest and type in motivational or diet inspiration

-Organise a set routine e.g. Times of meals, place of meals,

-I have my favourite dress (that I don't fit anymore) on a coat hanger in my room so I can see it for inspiration

Hope these help

Good Luck 🌻

Hi and welcome, Hajrah

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey
